This fireplace is designed to accommodate non-combustible facing material up to 1/2 in. (13 mm) thick. Install non-combustible
facing material up to the finishing edge (Figure 8.2) that surrounds the glass frame assembly. Do not apply any material beyond
this point. The glass frame assembly must be removable.
Non-combustible material is required at the top and the sides of the fireplace. Figure 8.3 reflects these dimensions.
Do not secure material to lower cover panel with screws, which may damage control system components. Use a silicone sealant
that has a 300°F (149ºC) continuous exposure rating to secure material in this zone.

face. Do not use excessively long screws.
